First direct red card of the tournament: act of aggression, Uruguay (and Benfica) rightback\rightwing Maxi Pereira, for kicking and uprooting a player with no interest in playing the ball. Most likely letting the frustration of the 1-3 defeat to Costa Rica get the best of him.

CRC Manager: "We feared Uruguay's air game and we won that air game. Balance and cooler heads were what won this match for us."

Soccor is so boring, it always ends in a 0-0 tie.

With the URU 1-3 CRC goal, the current goal average for this world cup is π. I motherfucking shit you not. 22 goals. 7 matches. Math it.

Consensus at my place is that it's either going to be an Italy win via counter-attack late in the game when the English are tired of playing direct football, or a draw, with unanimity on it being the first game poor on goals. Let's hope all 60 of us are wrong.

It looked like they just couldn't keep up at all in the second half and how Robben straight up outran two Spanish defenders who had a 10 metres head start is just typical.

Told you, around that 60 minute mark, when regular human beings start to get tired, the Dutch don't, for some reason. They have an extra gear, and if you play physical against them, it's going to be a long night for you. However, i do believe the Spanish collective collapse was clearly mental and not physical. As tired as you are, you can't position yourself that sloppily in the back four and expect to get away with it. Even Cassillas had a major brainfart to make it 4-1.

Poor Diego Costa. If there are no surprises in either group, there will be a Brazil-Spain in the first knock-out. And he's being booed every time he touches the ball as it is, which is saddening and hypocritical, considering Brazil is a radiating point of emigrants.
Lmao 5-1

Historically, after the 60 minute mark, the Netherlands kick in an extra gear that other teams seem to not have. When it comes to more physical matches, they have the upper hand, and we've never seen a Spain v Netherlands that was anything but physical (14 bookings last WC). It's a very well balanced match-up.

Although i do get what you mean, that's a striker's job description, specially the less complete strikers: lurk around the box like a shark and wait to smell blood, then kill. Hence the description "box shark" for the kind of striker that builds nothing and relies solely on expert finalizing. If Mexico manage to serve him useful balls, he should have a good showing in this WC.

worst referee ive ever seen, that penalty and the hand ball call were utter bullshit

I wouldn't go so far as to call it the worst ever, just a traditional case of FIFA pandering to the hosts. Before the Korea-Japan WC, Japan was ranked 48th or some such ridiculously low position, and after it they ranked above Portugal. Today's first game is having some worse reffing.

At 6/13/14 01:15 PM, Auz wrote: Yeah, the referees are doing a terrible job. That first one was tough to see, but that second one was an obvious legitimate goal.

I feel the reverse: the first goal (the ghost-"offside") was clean as a w-... well, it was clean. The corner was more of a jumble of bodies, but however you cut it, it's also a clean goal. If the ball was deviated by an attacking player, the finalizing player is onside. However, the deviation came off a defender, in which case, everyone is onside, no matter what. The only people anywhere near that deviation were Cameroonians.

As i wrote this, Mexico finally scored, so fucking OxyClean that even the Colombian ref found no way to cancel it. 1-0.

Called it. 30 minutes in, Mexico have had two legal goals cancelled as well as getting gypped on what should've been corners.

True, but you look at CONCACAF and being forced to pick 3 teams from it, considering Canada's clusterfuck of a qualifier campaign, it really is a confederation composed of Mexico, the US and a bunch of loose change.

Today, Mexico v Cameroon is being reffed by a Colombian. #just-fifa-things

Well, this was a fairly entertaining opening match. I didn't expect Croatia would give Brazil such a hard time.

Croatia's midfield has been gaining a history of being notoriously good since the past 12~16 years. If they didn't have Portuguese-style finishing and Argentine-style defending, they'd be a lot more respected in the world stage. You'll notice Brazil made a difference whenever they completely skipped the transition passes and just Englanded the pass

looks over at American BBS users and translates: "Hail Mary passes"

over the heads of the Croatian midfield, or got lucky with rebounds in the middle. But agreed, I wasn't expecting Croatia to be any sort of weakling, but I was also expecting this game to be a cakewalk for Brazil. Pleasantly surprised with the competitiveness.

Bullshit.

BBSes have all the interactivity of an autism support group. You post your viewpoint, act like it's the only one that exists, log off, go do something else. Wonderful. Chat was a lot more engaging, but it'll most likely remain gone forever, not because of some impossibly difficult task that it is to create a good and reliable one (look at all the other crap that's been done on NG alone), but most likely because the obvious which you've stated has been noticed by whoever it is that cares about the usage levels of the BBS and thinks that it's the only possible source of livelihood for NG. Neophobia, i suppose.

Found on the driver's seat of a friend's car that had gone in to a shop for repairs. From what I can tell, it serves no mechanical or electrical purpose, given the absence of conductive metal through the yellow grains, or even contacting the edges. It may be some sort of medical supply, but that's an area i have very little expertise in. My guess is it fell from a mechanic's pocket. The object has been presented to the head mechanic at the shop, and he says he has no clue.

Due to NG's post limit policy (if it still stands as of the last time i was active on these forums) i've dumped further images of it:

According to said friend, the foil seal was intact on discovery.

Do any of you have any clue whatsoever as to what it might be?
